Description: GENE AMMONS/SONNY STITT/BROTHER JACK McDUFF: Soul Summit. Used stereo LP in Near Mint/Near Mint condition. Prestige Records Catalog # 7454; reissue of 1966 album Condition: Vinyl superior to typical LPs. Packaging has just two minor flaws: my own handwritten note (made before I decided to sell my LPs) on back of jacket that surfaces are very good, and my notation of total playing times for the two sides in the track listings. Behind the Music: Prestige Records is part of “The Fantasy Family of Labels.” Very active in realm of Jazz, they recorded sessions with Miles Davis and John Coltrane (in same Miles quintet) before those artists got huge. This album is aptly titled. Gene ‘Jug’ Ammons was one of those purveyors of a “big soulful” sound on tenor saxophone. Sonny Stitt was equally adept on tenor and alto sax (here he sticks to tenor). He is revered among aficionados of the music, though not as well known as Coltrane, another Sonny (Rollins by name), etc. And ‘Brother’ Jack McDuff was one of the great organists. They are joined for these sessions by veteran drummer Charlie Persip. That’s it, no bass, no guitarist. The compositions are largely originals, supplemented by “When You Wish Upon a Star” from Disney’s animated Snow White. Yes, everything is fair game for Jazzers! Original sessions were “supervised” by Esmond Edwards and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder. Enjoy this good old “blowing session”! About the seller: I am downsizing my personal belongings, and you can benefit. Unless otherwise indicated, all my records have been owned by me alone and treated with loving care. No scratches or gouges. I have been a Jazz radio broadcaster for 30+ years, but my musical tastes are wide-ranging. You will see this as my listed offerings grow. New items added weekly, check back often! PLEASE NOTE: I will not sell anything for less than $9.99, as it’s not worth packaging the item up and taking it to the Post Office. Sure, you can buy an LP for 50 cents or less at a yard sale, but will it have been cared for like mine? Not likely. FREE SHIPPING to U.S. address for purchase of any item of $100 or more.
